Diploma in Artificial Intelligence (AI)
and Machine Learning (ML)
About This Program
The demand for AI-enabled automation is rapidly increasing, with a forecast by Markets and Markets
predicting that the market will grow from USD 58.3 billion in 2021 to USD 309.6 billion by 2026, at a
CAGR of 39.7% globally. With the Indian government’s focus on digitization and many organizations accelerating their digital transformation efforts, the demand for AI talent is expected to surge in
India as well.
Regardless, it is evident that AI and ML are rapidly transforming industries and businesses across the
globe. In India, the government’s push for digitization and the growing adoption of digital
technologies by organizations are driving the demand for skilled AI professionals.
To meet this demand, the Nextgen Education Foundation has launched an 11-month online Diploma
in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning program. This program aims to equip working
professionals with a deep understanding of AI and its various applications, as well as the necessary

Text mining is the process of deriving high-quality information from text and this is the fifth course of the program. This course aims to equip students with adequate knowledge in extracting the relevant text data and skills to identify patterns therein. This course covers topics like converting documents to vectors, Parts of Speech Tagging, Topic modelling, sentiment analysis and recommender systems.
Document vectorization and Parts of Speech TaggingIntroduction to Part of speech tagging, Part of speech tagging using HMM-1, Implementing POS Tagging in PythonTopic modelling using LDAIntroduction to Sentiment AnalysisRecommender Systems
Deep learning is an evolving subfield of Machine Learning and this course starts with traditional Neural Networks followed by sequential networks, Convolution Networks, Autoencoders and Generative deep learning models. The implementation details of these deep learning models along with tuning of the parameters will be illustrated in this course.
